Pricing Snapshot
Courtney's SandCastle is one of Orange County's best-established universal playgrounds and remains a standout for families looking for broad inclusive design rather than a token accessible feature or two. Official city and foundation materials describe a poured-in-place rubber surface, ramped castle-themed structure for ages 5 to 12, pirate ship play for ages 2 to 5, accessible sand and water play, sensory garden, supportive swing seats, and an ornamental metal fence enclosure. Because it sits in Vista Hermosa Sports Park, families also get practical amenities like restrooms, picnic space, and a longer-stay outing environment.
